Full resorts with a gaming floor
Large hotels described as hotels first: rooms, restaurants, theatres — and a gaming floor among them.
Each property below is a hotel first. The gaming floor is one feature of a much larger resort, alongside rooms, restaurants, spas and theatres.
01
Montréal, Québec, Canada
An Expo pavilion on an island
The Montreal property is built around one of the more unusual buildings in Canadian hospitality: the former French pavilion from Expo 67, on Île Notre-Dame in the Saint Lawrence. The structure is angular, largely glazed, and faces the city skyline across the water.
02
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
High on the escarpment
Fallsview stands on the escarpment above the Horseshoe Falls, high enough that the view is the first thing most guests mention. Upper-floor rooms face the water directly, and the public levels are arranged so the outlook carries into restaurants and lounges.
03
Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
River frontage, twenty minutes from town
River Rock sits on the Fraser River in Richmond with its own marina and a long waterfront frontage. The location is unusually convenient: Vancouver International is minutes away and the Canada Line reaches central Vancouver in about twenty minutes.
04
Rama, Ontario, Canada
Lake Country, and a long concert calendar
Casino Rama sits in Ontario's Lake Country, north of Orillia and close to Lake Couchiching. It is owned by the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, and the property's role in the region — as employer and as venue — is considerable.
